This summer I told a Republican who’d been harassing DFL booth workers at a rural county fair, and then gotten in a shouting match with my dad, to be careful about what he said to me because I was a proud constituent of the baddest bitch to ever do it, Congressperson Ilhan Omar.
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

They detained four workers from a Mexican restaurant

We now have 48 detainees in the Crow Wing County Jail

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

As we in Minneapolis struggle with this unlawful, invading force… I ask all of you consider the parallels to your local law enforcement and the Black community often describes their interactions.
I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I love you, you organizers and wine moms alike who are doing so much without being able to share it. You’ve been trained for years to post and share every moment and movement and you’re resisting.
I know you’re tired, focused, angry, brave.
You’re not alone, but you already knew that.

Agreed. It’s everyone, and everywhere. It’s outer ring suburbs organizing their own rapid response teams. It’s young and old, and across political spectrum. They’re attacking our way of life, and so everyone is fighting back.
I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Just so we are all aware: yes, being politically active is a risk. Yes it will affect your career- it has affected mine. Yes it will put you in danger- I receive death threats regularly. But revolution for better or worse requires risk. Otherwise your writing stands for very little.
